Those are the requirements for a cushion that is intended to qualify
as your ONE required throwable device. Rob has a throwable device
mounted on the aft of his boat. It's a throwable ring with a line
attached. He doesn't need his cushions to conform to those
requirements.

Doesn't it have the readily accessible? The CG might argue that it's
not because its line is tied and not easily deployable.
